2006 GSM - GOLD MEDAL WINNER
GOLD MEDAL WINNER
In 2006, our GSM is incredibly fresh, spicy and even racier than prior vintages. Hints of vanilla tease the nose and enhance the wine’s aromatic, toasty oak character. Curiously, it also exhibits a distinct dusty road character. The dark color of Syrah and its balanced tannins showcase the complexity of this wine while the Mourvedrè is remarkable in its contribution to fruitiness and mouth-filling flavor. Overall the wine is high in red fruit by nose – raspberries, red currant and cassis and there is a continuum of harmony from the first taste of pure fruit to the full flavor that is balanced by the wine’s acid and tannin levels. As our vines mature and the wine ages this wine’s poise is more and more striking. There just aren’t any jagged edges.
